1. With all the fear of recession in the market and in the economy as a whole, it was only a matter of time before the government steps in. And true to form, they’re now coming in after the problem has already been in full force for a while, and their “solution” won’t take effect until much later anyway.

This blog will also be making the change shortly, but I’m waiting on a domain name transfer at the moment. Any feedback you have of the new site once it’s finished will definitely be welcome. It is, after all, a site for all of you.
